Matthew 23:22-24
The Voice
22 And when you swear by heaven, you are swearing by God’s throne and by Him who sits upon it.
23 So woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees. You hypocrites! You tithe from your luxuries and your spices, giving away a tenth of your mint, your dill, and your cumin. But you have ignored the essentials of the law: justice, mercy, faithfulness. It is practice of the latter that makes sense of the former. 24 You hypocritical, blind leaders. You spoon a fly from your soup and swallow a camel.
Matthew 23:22-24
New International Version
22 And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the one who sits on it.(A)
23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth(B) of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness.(C) You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides!(D) You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
